We only ask because ex member Brian McFadden met up with Kian Egan this month at London's Fifty St James... And then Kian jetted to the States to join the other boys. Hmm, interesting!

July 26, 200915 yr Author I think the news just stated that they saw Brian met Kian (as a friend) then Kian went to states with his other mates. Not a collaboration with Brian :)

August 6, 200915 yr Author NO MORE COVERS 05 Aug 2009 Stocking stuff... Westlife's Shane Filan is looking forward to the band's new album at Christmast. The singer has promised it won't contain a single cover version. Gulp... WESTLIFE VOW LATEST ALBUM WILL BE 100% NEW MATERIAL EXCLUSIVE by Paul Martin Westlife have promised fans their new album will have no cover versions as they bid to launch the ultimate pop comeback. The stars - who have topped the charts with their versions of songs such as Mandy, Uptown Girl and Against All Odds - have given the first insight into their new material to the Irish Daily Mirror. Singer Shane Filan revealed: "The album will have no covers at all - we want it to be our strongest ever. We're working on it in the studios at the minute and it's really exciting. We took a decision that we didn't want to do any covers at all this time round and give the fans 100% new material. "We know this has to be something special because we have been away for over a year. I think everyone is going to be really surprised when they hear it." Westlife first released a cover in 1999 when their version of Abba's I Have A Dream scooped them the Christmas and new Millennium No.1 slot. In 2000, they teamed up with Mariah Carey to release a cover of Phill Collins' Against All Odds, which secured them a world wide No1. A year later, their cover of Billy Joel's 1983 hit Uptown Girl secured them another top spot before they released a version of little-known Northern Ireland band Relish's Hey Whatever. Barry Manilow's Mandy notched them up another hit in 2003 before their monster anthem You Raise Me Up also went to No1. Shane added: "We always prefer to release new material but we never had the luxury of a Gary Barlow-type song writer. "But we're lucky to be working with some amazing writers and I'm sure this album is going to bring us back with a band. "We want great up-tempo songs and some really strong ballads. That's what we made our name with and that's what we want to do again. "The plan is to release the album before Christmas and then hit the road for a tour next year."

August 7, 200915 yr Author Capital FM said that they will release new single on September! Fingers crossed that all will be originals ********** From the award-winning remixer, Calvin Harris, twitter (but suddenly erased!) Quote: $h!t that new Westlife song's a bit of a departure isn't it Thursday, 6th August, 00:38 "Departure" means something different and surprising! The evidence can still be seen on his website... http://www.calvinharris.co.uk/ (not anymore) Edited August 8, 200915 yr by zealoveswl
August 8, 200915 yr Author what do you mean about "Leaving" Charisma? Beautiful and Leaving can be added on the upcoming album as it was officially posted on ASCAP that those songs are for Westlife
August 9, 200915 yr I have a feeling their new album could be more credible than some of their recent efforts. I hope they decide to stay away from cover versions as they have done too many and alot of them arent very good. Their original songs are best.

August 12, 200915 yr Author Westlife promise 'strongest album yet' 11 Aug 2009 By David Balls, Music Reporter Westlife have promised that their upcoming ninth studio album will be the group's strongest to date. The Irish boyband, who have not released any new material for two years, (partly wrong! their last release of original track was 2008) insisted that they will surprise fans when they return later this year. "The album will have no covers at all - we want it to be our strongest ever," Shane Filan told the Irish Daily Mirror. "We're working on it in the studios at the minute and it's really exciting. We took a decision that we didn't want to do any covers at all this time round and give the fans 100% new material. "We know this has to be something special because we have been away for over a year. I think everyone is going to be really surprised when they hear it." Guy Chambers, former Savage Garden star Darren Hayes and Ryan Tedder, who penned Leona Lewis's 'Bleeding Love', are all rumoured to have contributed material for the new record. "We're lucky to be working with some amazing writers and I'm sure this album is going to bring us back with a bang," Filan added. "We want great up-tempo songs and some really strong ballads. That's what we made our name with and that's what we want to do again. "The plan is to release the album before Christmas and then hit the road for a tour next year." Westlife have sold over 40 million copies of their nine previous albums, seven of which were bestsellers in the UK. Credit/Source: www.digitalspy.co.uk Edited August 12, 200915 yr by zealoveswl
August 14, 200915 yr Author "As Love Is My Witness" just leaked not the first single. still uncertain if it'll be on the new album or unreleased track. Youtube leak just got deleted by BPI
August 16, 200915 yr Author did u like the song?? I can't believe that a song from them leaked too early!! I think this won't be their 1st single (since it leaked). Shane's part is the best. They're definitely going back to what their established sound was as being evident to this song AT the song, it's like a song from AUTBF. Hopefully, not the first single. I'm still hoping for a pop/dance track. Beautiful lyrics, ok/generic song, old notes/music used. expecting for more soon If you'll listen intently at the start you can hear like a record button was pressed? I don't really think this is the clean final edit For NOW, I thought that this song at first is not remarkable. but when I played it all over. I'm liking the chorus and Shane's parts. The only destructive to me is the intro by Mark, sorry.
